PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death
from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or
other hazards. These precautions include, but are not
limited to, the following:
Power supply/power cord
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or
place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,
or roll anything over it.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the
one you purchased, the included power cord may not be
compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or
dust which may have accumulated on it.
• When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet
you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or
malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch
and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the
power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not
unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the device will not be
disconnected from the power source.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is
not to be used for extended periods of time, or during
electrical storms.
• Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective
grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in
electrical shock, damage to the device(s), or even fire.
Do not open
• This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not
open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal
parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to be
malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Water warning
• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in
damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such
as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might
spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps
into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug
the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Hearing loss
• Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their
maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected
devices, doing so may result in feedback that can cause
hearing loss and damage the speakers.
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always
turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid hearing loss and
speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power
amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others,
or damage to the device or other property. These
precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/power cord
• When removing the electric plug from the device or an
outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling
by the cord can damage it.
Location
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over and cause injuries.
• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the
front/rear to prevent the internal temperature from becoming
too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or
upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating,
possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
• Do not place the device in a location where it may come
into contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may
result in malfunction.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• Keep device away from the reach of children.
• If the device is mounted in an EIA standard rack, carefully
read the section "Precautions for rackmounting" on page 7.
Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly
causing damage to the device(s), malfunction, or even fire.
Connections
• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the
power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for
all devices, set all volume levels to minimum. It may result in
electric shock, hearing loss, or equipment damage.
Maintenance
• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning
the device.
Handling caution
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings
on the device (vents, etc.).
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic,
metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents,
etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
